In my un-expert assessment....

Press Release

Today I am proclaiming that Rolex has set a new World Record for incoming posts here on TRF. I can not recall as many incoming / got the call posts... ever.

Mark your calendar, as August 12th (2022) marks a new benchmark for Rolex.

A Crown For Every Achievement

Rumor is that AD's are unloading their safes of coveted SS ROLEXES to actual retail buyers as their grey market contacts are no longer buying the ADs' watches "under the table" because the market has collapsed.

Benzsiam · 13 August 2022, 09:13 AM

Thanks for sharing this great video!

amanbra · 13 August 2022, 09:57 AM

Yeah enthusiasts finally getting some watches as the “investors” disappear =) hopefully this becomes a firm trend.

ap1 · 13 August 2022, 10:04 AM

I think it’s nwa now brah

Love it.

Good article on Financial Times (link not working) that makes sense to me as a small business owner, Asia makes up a lot of the luxury watch market.

“ Luxury watch prices plummet on weak Chinese consumer confidence

Second-hand market for high-end goods battered by Beijing’s strict adherence to zero-Covid

One watch investor in China said a ‘weak economy cannot support a luxury boom’ © Alex Plaveski/EPA-EFE

The prices of second-hand luxury goods have fallen rapidly in China over recent months, as even the wealthy cut back on their discretionary spending and sell their Rolex watches and Hermès bags to raise cash.
“

Unless that’s taboo

Vintyage · 13 August 2022, 10:29 AM

Now that’s something to cheer me up after an exhausting day. I hope it only gets better, perhaps to the point you just walk in and make a purchase without a long list or making an extra purchase just for preferential treatment.

Nice video. It's interesting I noticed No White Face Daytona Ceramic... I wonder why?

dannyboy123 · 13 August 2022, 01:07 PM

That's a great video.

The video was posted 10 years ago. There wasn't a white face Daytona ceramic at that time.

My phone isn't hot from all the AD calls .....

Tourists also returned since Covid,may be a reason .

amh · 13 August 2022, 10:26 PM

A beat up 2017 BLNR with no box/papers now sells for a paltry $15k. Probably a year more before price parity is reached - maybe.

Correct. That is a rumor.

alllexandru · 13 August 2022, 11:16 PM

Nice video.
No calls from my AD :)))

Tavli3 · 13 August 2022, 11:32 PM

This could be part of the reason. Plus for whatever it’s worth I was at our local mall and was passing by the Rolex boutique and saw not one person the store which is unusual. Normally I just go right by but decided to stop in. Cases full with mostly exhibition models but there were Lady DJs in the cases for sale.
Haven’t seen that in while!

Have noticed a lot of this amongst my group of friends who are into watches. Much more incomings than anytime over the past few years. Big changes are that greys are not really buying so flippers aren't either. Also the "buy whatever you can get your hands on at the AD" mentality is largely gone since it is no longer guaranteed that you can resell for what you paid (tax inclusive) on a lightly worn piece.

Chewbacca · 14 August 2022, 05:26 AM

Was waiting for some nonsense ended up being the longest 2.5 minutes of my life. (That’s what she said)

Steven has gone too far.
